the standard "what board thread"...

ok, so i've done a bit of searching. yes i have used the search bar, read some of the posts, but i think i'd be better off with a thread. i'm really trying to stay cheap. preferably under 150 or 160. design on the bottom is definently not that important. no graphic is fine. used is fine as long as its still in good shape. i weigh like 100 pounds. im 5'3 ish. 14 years old. please keep in mind that i'll only be using this for the summer trips to the lake. we don't go down there very often but i wanna be able to do something other than ski.

so far, i've looked and i'm considering a few of the NEW skates(mogley, pelican, and bi-level's). any suggestions will be considered. i dont really know much about any of the skates i said i've looked at, but they looked decent and are in the price range.

thanks.

the scape is probablly about the worst skate you can get...
with your size the NEW pelican would be perfect, its 39"
it'a definitly worth the $150 it costs.

twitchy204, yeah even the smallest scape is way too big for you.

nah, im not gonna spend hundreds on something im gonna use 10 times a year. i've got enough expensive hobbies to keep up with as it is. i just wanna have a little fun when we head down to the lake.

twitchy204, by the sounds of things NEW fits your mould perfect, and at 5'3" I would say go for the pelican (39"), heck even if u grow all of a sudden it wont affect ya, im 6 foot and it's still a good size for me

If u wanna go a bit more, try the devotid concave when it comes out lol. Nah i just wanna find out how that thing rides, it looks sick as.

But yeah dude if you dont mind second hand and wanna try somethin else from new, put a topic in the classifieds saying u want a new board for 150 and see what pops up. But seriously, i rekon the NEW is the way for u. Thats my opinion anyways. Whatever the board, just shred Twisted Evil
